Evolutionary transitions from animal to wind pollination have occurred repeatedly during the
history of the angiosperms, but the selective mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we propose …

Molecular phylogenetics has revolutionized our understanding of the Caryophyllales, and
yet many relationships have remained uncertain, particularly at deeper levels. We have …

The Caryophyllales have the highest diversity in androecial patterns among flowering plants
with stamen numbers ranging from 1 up to 4,000. Thanks to the recent progress in …

Transitions from animal to wind pollination have occurred repeatedly in flowering plants,
driven by structural and biomechanical modifications to flowers. But the initial changes …

In wind pollination, the release of pollen from anthers into airflows determines the quantity
and timing of pollen available for pollination. Despite the ecological and evolutionary …

This work pretends to demonstrate how the phylogenetic distribution of an ecologically
innocuous character–perianth fate–challenges mainstream Darwinian reductionist notions …

In spite of numerous phylogenetic studies to determine relationships in Order
Caryophyllales and particularly in the suborder Portulacinae, the position of Halophytaceae …
